| On FOX News this morning, Sen. Rand Paul may have just delivered the most pointed response to President Obama’s scare tactics on the sequester. “I would say balderdash,” Paul said after the FOX host asked for his response. “It’s untrue, unfair, dishonest, disingenuous. The president is making stuff up.” Paul added that Obama’s “histrionics” were “beneath the office of the presidency,” criticizing him for scaring Americans over any cuts to federal government spending. “It is the least we can do,” Paul said about the spending cuts. “Our country is drowning in a sea of debt, borrowing $50,000 a second.

Comments: Excellent! Where is Boehner and the rest of the Republicans?? Fox would be more than happy to give them a forum.

Don´t forget Poppycock !
Myth and shibboleth !
Forked tongued fabrications!
Anyone who lived through the Prop. 13 era in Cali-Mexia has seen this movie before.
They told us straight up that if prop 13 passed we would have no fire dept.....no teachers.....no police.
Then it passed and the government sucked it up and got the job done anyway.
(...as much as they EVER got the job done.)

We seriously need more people like Rand Paul elected. In less than 1 minute he completely demolished 0bama on sequester, gave easily understood facts and called B0 out for acting unpresidential. In less than 1 minute!

What OP posted. Boehner and the GOP leadership are part of the problem - that´s why they´re parroting some of the Democrat talking points.
I want the sequestration to take place. To paraphrase Pelosi: we have to let it happen to see its real effects (which will be minimal). Our military survived Utah Beach. They can cope with this.

Rand Paul may well demolish Obama´s foolish tactics, but only if people hear him. The MSM does a very effective job of keeping this type of response off the air or off the front pages. We see it and say yippy, but most don´t see it at all.

#2, you are exactly correct, I lived through Prop 13. It was not just fire and police, they DISTINCTLY said:
Garbage pickup will be cut (how, when we pay directly for that, but never mind)
Schools will be shuttered
Parks will be closed
Streetlights will no longer be lit
I remember that well, as it was right when I was turning 18 and became active in what was going on politically. None of these things, of course, happened.
Laughingly, you know what the liberals say when I bring up this point?
"It´s because of Prop 13 that this state has tremendous debt".
That´s right. Our success in curbing insane property tax that was DRIVING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES is the reason we have financial problems in California.
You cannot make this stuff up.

What keeps businesses lean and competitive is the downturns in the economy and other factors that require hard decisions to be made in order to survive. And the only way to make government do the same is to starve it. It will complain and squirm and feign catastrophe but in the end make decisions that better serves the people.
And that is why only the bare minimum of things should be given over to the government. We see today what happens when it is given too much......a monster is created that destroys us all.

Well, let´s see. How much is the sequester that the resident in the people´s house signed into law last year - 22 Billion or something like that? So, apparently, it takes that amount of money to run the government because if the sequester stays, babies will die, children will starve, 800,000 employees laid off at the Pentagon, air traffic controllers out, airports shut down, no more teachers, and I don´t remember the rest of the litany. So, why do they need more taxes????? It is plain and simple extortion Chicago style.

I looked "balderdash" on dictionary.com. An obsolete definition of the term is "a muddled mixture of liquors." I love it! You´ve got to be drunk on hooch (a) to say this stuff that miserable SOB we call president says and (b) to believe it.
Of course, the LSM are handing out the drinks to the Lo-Fo´s all the time. And that SOB is drunk with power.

I think both sides are afraid of Rand Paul. He gave the Tea Party response to the State of the Union speech and I had to find it on the internet. If it was on FOX, I missed it. They certainly didn´t repeat it over and over.
As a Kentuckian, I am very proud to have him for a senator. He has been very active ever since being elected.

Bottom line:
More money will be spent by the gov´t this year than last year.
These are simply cuts in the proposed INCREASES of projected spending.
We are all being taken as fools.

Yes, good to hear someone stand up and speak and speak some more. Of course the msm will bury the Rand Paul interview. How to make the msm irrelevant? Simple, if no audience, that means no product and no msm. Supply and demand. No demand, no supply. COuld you imagine Teddy Turner´s CNN being sold...for one dollar like Newsweek?
So I will ask, what´s the plan for marginalizing the msm to the extent that that the LoFo´s and the HiFo´s take notice?

Bill Ayers believes President Obama gets a “failing grade” for his presidency, and should be tried for “war crimes,” along with all living presidents who have engaged in acts of “terrorism” abroad. Sitting down for an episode of RealClearPolitics’ “Morning Commute,” Ayers told host Charlie Stone that, on policy, Obama receives a “failing grade” along with the “F-minuses” he’s given previous presidents like George W. Bush and Richard Nixon. “I don’t think he’s let anybody down,” Ayers added, pointing to how during the 2008 presidential campaign then-Senator Obama consistently declared himself to be a “middle-of-the-road, pragmatic politician.”

National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander told the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday that the NSA whistleblower that leaked classified information on the agency’s surveillance program caused “irreversible and significant damage” to the nation and helped America’s enemies. “I think it was irreversible and significant damage to this nation,” Alexander said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) asked how damaging it was “to the national security of the American people that this trust was violated.” “Has this helped America’s enemies?” Bachmann asked Alexander. “I believe it has, and I believe it will hurt us and our allies,”

John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he might lose his job as House speaker over immigration reform, but he insisted he will not bring a bill to the House floor that does not have majority support of both Republicans and Democrats. Following the Republican conference meeting on Tuesday, Boehner was asked: “Rep. Rohrabacher said that if you bring immigration reform to the floor without the support of the GOP conference you will lose your job (as speaker). Do you think that’s accurate?” “Maybe,” Boehner said after a long pause, to laughter from reporters.

In line with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s order for troops to have their workplaces searched for “degrading or offensive” materials -- part of an attempt to curb sexual assault in the military -- the Navy will inspect even its bathrooms. While what’s degrading or offensive is open to interpretation, the material can include song lyrics and “inappropriate cartoons.” In a memo sent on June 13, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered that all sailors, Marines, cadets and civilian employees have their workplaces searched by June 28.

Last Friday, Organizing for Action exploited the six-month anniversary of the Newtown shooting. They mobilized their supporters for a series of anti-gun rallies across the country. In San Bernardino, that call to action was answered by three people. Ryan Hagen of the Sun, a local paper, wrote on June 14 about the failed rally. On Flag Day growing up, I used to always wave a flag with my grandson, and it hit me that the victims of that horrible tragedy won’t ever be able to do that,” said Curtis Lewis, the group’s gun violence prevention coordinator.

While unrest in Turkey continues to capture attention, more subtle and more telling events concerning the Islamification of Turkey — and not just at the hands of Prime Minister Erdogan but majorities of Turks — are quietly transpiring. These include the fact that Turkey’s Hagia Sophia museum is on its way to becoming a mosque. Why does the fate of an old building matter? Because Hagia Sophia — Greek for “Holy Wisdom” — was for some thousand years Christianity’s greatest cathedral. Built in 537 A.D. in Constantinople, the heart of the

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
